Ground Control to Major Tom (or Molly in this case)

I'm on the night shift, so I have some free time to post some random stuff. I nearly forgot about this picture of Molly in Mission Control. Isn't she awesome?!?!

Space Pics

I have run across a couple cool space pictures that I wanted to post. Here they are:

This is a picture of the International Space Station and Space Shuttle Atlantis not long after the space shuttle undocked from the space station. The picture is silhouette of the spacecraft in front of the Sun. Click on the image to open a window with a larger picture an explanation.
Space Shuttle Discovery approaches the ISS. This picture was taken during the STS-121 mission to the space station.

Back in the Game

It's been a long time since there has been a blog update. I assumed that no one would notice, but, much to my surprise, we've actually logged some complaints (you know who you are). What has been up with us?

In no particular order...

• My brother Matt got married.
• Way to go, Matt!!!
• Welcome to the family, Lisa!!
• We sold our old house
• Woo Hoo!!! What a load off.
• Successfully returned to Space Station Assembly by adding a new power module
• 35,000 lbs. on Earth
• Each solar wing is 115 feet by 38 feet
• The two new wings are capable of generating enough power to meet the needs of 30 average homes
(1.3MB)
• We've gotten through the hurricane season unscathed - so far. There is still just over a month left in the season, but we can see the light at the end of the tunnel!
• The dogs are still as nutty as can be...

Any questions??? Then I'll end with a quote...

Man is the only animal that can remain on friendly terms with the victims he intends to eat until he eats them.
